UNDERSTANDING BACK PAIN SYMPTOMS

Back pain can occur due to a number of factors; some of the most common include sports injuries, overuse, bone disorders, advanced age, sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, obesity, pregnancy, and more. The wear-and-tear of daily life can also negatively affect the spine and cause back pain. Even if the pain is localized in one area of the back, the entire spine is affected, and the negative effects can extend to other areas of the body if left untreated.

The spinal imbalance caused by any of the above-mentioned factors can cause dysfunction in the joints, soft tissue, and nerves all along the spine. When this happens, there is pain and discomfort which can become severe if not addressed promptly. The longer the condition is allowed to progress, the worse the effects on the body. Serious back pain can develop into numbness, sharp pains, and inability to move the limbs.

HOW DOES BACK PAIN OCCUR?

Back pain is a frequent complaint among patients in New York City who consult healthcare practitioners. Such symptoms can emerge in a variety of ways. Whether it is from an injury, repetitive motion, or the everyday wear-and-tear that the human body is subjected to, back pain can have unwanted effects on the quality of life. In some cases the chiropractor’s use of spinal manipulation and other techniques can offer a means of relief and healing from the nagging impact of back pain.

This is essentially the case with back pain that is caused by mechanical (the way the spine moves) factors. The vertebrae of the neck or a cervical portion of the spine are also vulnerable to the same type of disc herniation that occurs in patients with back pain. Strain, irritation or involvement of nerves, muscles, and vertebral discs of the cervical spine can cause pain in the neck region. However, there can be other underlying causes of back pain, such as problems with the upper arms, lower back, and shoulders.

Potential Causes of Back Pain NYC

Symptoms of back pain can also be the result of serious disease processes, trauma, and/or the aging process can all cause back pain. NYC Patients can be best served by consulting pain management specialists when the suspected cause of the problem is based on neurological (nerve-related) disturbances or other organic or inflammatory conditions that are not based solely on mechanical misalignment. Chiropractors assess multiple causes for a patient’s back pain, including stress, falls, fibromyalgia, injury resulting from whiplash, sports injuries, cervical arthritis, hairline spinal fractures due to osteoporosis and, of course, ruptured or herniated discs.
